Dre can't even come up with a hit. Last time I checked Recovery didn't have a Dre beat on it, and it sold better and was recieved better than Relapse, which was filled with nothing but Dre beats.
Dr. Dre Flies Down South For The Boss, "Got Him In Miami All Week"
Maybach Music Group's Rick Ross is living the dream this week by revealing he is clocking in time alongside renowned producer Dr. Dre for the next seven days.
Besides, Dre and 50's relationship was just business. Dre has collabed with plenty of 50's enemies, Ja on Snoop's Imagine Remix, he's been working with Game. So I'm not surprised by this. Em on the other hand has a personal friendship with him, he is loyal to a friend. Dre is loyal to money and trying to stay relevant. He needs a hit. It's been a while.
I'M BACK. SORRY FOR THE LAYOFF

Kanye West & Jay-Z Fuel Chris Rock/Dave Chappelle Reunion Plans
Comedian Chris Rock has credited the recent pairing of Jay-Z and Kanye West with their platinum-selling Watch the Throne joint album for fueling plans to hook-up with estranged stand-up comic Dave Chappelle.
I don't know about Em, Ross disrespected Em for no reason. Calling him a honkey and I'm sure once he dropped Despicable and shut him up, that killed any chance of him ever stooping that low.

Drake Leads The Way, Rihanna's Talk Walks Into Top 5, Young Jeezy Stays Put
In this week's Sales Wrap, Drake once again leads the pack at No. 4, Rihanna finds her way back into Top 5 and Young Jeezy stays frozen in Top 10.
This is what the music industry needs. Notice that when all the "Music Video Shows" disappeared hip hop music sales went down significantly. I think this is a smart move that's a long time coming.

WTT will do 1.5, BME will flatline at 1.2. Recovery is still on there. It'll flatline at 4.2 like I called in 2010. You can't compare Royce to Ace Hood, yeah Ace outsold him, but is his album better? Is it me or is Beyonce done? Kelly had a hit, I say she does 300k though.

I think musically, he isn't where he used to be. Fact of the matter is, his name is still relevant, whether his music sells or not. He may be done musically, but 50 Cent is still a house hold name.

Coming from a Christian Rap artist. I'm not sure if I want to see Malice doing gospel rap, it's not his lane, I'm sure he would be good at it, I just can't picture him doing it. He is underrated to me however. I like him better than Pusha, that's just my opinion though.

After recently undergoing a life-changing experience, The Clipse's Malice has promised fans he is not taking the Mason "Ma$e" Betha route by turning his life and music over to the Lord.
I think Magic Stick started his pop tart music. He just kept trying to remake it, because he was mad he couldn't have it as a single for GRODT.

Will people get off this Big and Puff knew thing? LET IT GO. Nobody knows that, because they weren't there. If you were there, you wouldn't be on here commenting with an assumption on it. What kind of "man" runs their mouth about things when they weren't even there to see them? Nobody on this site was there, so they don't know. Just talking to air. I DARE YOU TO RESPOND.
Tupac Shakur's Shooter Confesses, "I Want To Apologize To His Family"
The man allegedly responsible for murdering rapper Tupac Shakur in November 1994 has come forward to confess to his crime.
Is this the only derogatory term he knows? He called Jadakiss, Snoop, Jay-Z, Nas, Ludacris etc. all pinheads. Who is still offended by it? Why would Lupe be mad at free pub? He shouldn't be. I would've thanked him for the shout out.

Oh, I wasn't. That was the point. Wayne didn't flat out disrespect him, he just said he was afraid to collab with him. Eminem dissed him and Kanye both, back in 2007, but the track didn't leak until last year though. Those 3 actually are big pop stars right now. Khaled can barely sell 20k marketing to the hip hop crowd. I just don't see what Marshall has to gain from it, besides scrutiny.
